Introduction
Handling graphic design work can be chaotic..
From tracking all your projects to updating portfolios and juggling client work.
This is where Notion comes into play. It’s a digital platform that acts as your organization tool, note-taking hub, second brain, etc.
At NotionPlates we showcase templates (pre-designed layouts) designed by creators to organize, plan, track, simplify or build anything.
They save time by providing a clear layout for tracking projects, brainstorming ideas, and managing day-to-day tasks.

Meaning you can personalize them to fit your specific needs and working style.
Now, let’s get into some Notion templates that can help you out as an (aspiring) designer.
